Gather all your ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. (It's important to whisk well so the baking powder is evenly distributed!)
Use immediately in place of self-rising flour, or store in an airtight container for later use.

Do NOT add extra baking powder or salt to your recipe when using this mix—it's already included!
If you’re using a recipe that calls for self-rising flour plus baking powder, check to see if you should omit or reduce the added leavening.
If you are making a batch of this flour to keep, make sure you label and date the container so you don’t forget what it is.
Baking powder is the key to self-rising flour, so make sure yours isn't past its prime. If you're unsure, you can test it by adding a small amount to a bowl and dropping a little in warm water. If it fizzes, it's good.
